We usually review craft brews although occasionally we have ventured onto the dark side. That being big box brewer brews. And although we find in general the beers of mass consumption often lacking, as the old saying goes, even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in...
Last night I checked the cottage beer fridge for an evening IPA, an end of a scorcher of a day refresher, and grabbed a Bavarian 8.6 IPA. Sounded like just the ticket, and the extra 27ml of international bonus beer is almost all times appreciated. My Editor is...
The Department of Morality calls the grand kids li’l angels. I wouldn’t go so far as to call them li’l heathens (like my Grandparents used to call us) but there are a couple of slightly tarnished halos in the mix. Maybe li’l rascals might be a reasonable compromise....
Nice patio dinner with the missus, then out on the lake and wetted the net, yep caught me a fat bass-terd or two, then a moonlight cruise. Only one thing left on my to do list to do today, that’s right, quaff me a cold one on the boathouse. But after all the fancy...

A 7% lager attests to the gravity of the situation, as in high gravity brewing, a process usually reserved for bocks or triples to boost the booze. * Is it ironic that the original Apollo Seven ** was all about escaping gravity through liftoff while this Apollo Seven...
You’re a Cranky Old Captain assigned to fly that red eye from YYZ to YVR. * Riding in on the UP Express, you have a hankering for Henderson’s Best, an amber for the ages, and the aged. But no one wants a Foster Brooks ** at the wheel of their 747. What to do? How...
“It’s a bird. No, it’s a Plane. No, it’s a frog.” For those of you who were mid-60s Saturday morning cartoon aficionados you know the response. “It’s not a bird, a plane or even a frog, it’s just little old me, Underdog.” That’s right, in disguise as the humble and...
